Wyatt Earp

Wyatt Earp was 6' tall and 160 pounds during his Dodge City & Tombstone days according to a piece written by Bat Matterson titled My friend Wyatt Earp. He was also very muscular at the time.

According to an article by Larry Tritton on the website jewishjournal.com (Looking For a Legend), Wyatt Earp was NOT Jewish. He is buried in a Jewish cemetery because his wife was Jewish and Wyatt had expressed a wish to be buried next to his wife. He died before his wife did, and she had him buried in a Jewish cemetery, presumably because that is where she intended to be buried. All the articles on the internet indicate that Wyatt is buried in a Jewish cemetery, but none of them state that he was Jewish, or that he converted to Judaism.

Yes.

Wyatt Earp was released on 06/24/1994.

Wyatt Earp died on January 13, 1929 at the age of 80.
